Hi Everyone!
Rachel, Kevin, Jake, Grandma and Grandpa Skousen joined to St. Jude this week. They left Wednesday evening and stayed with family in Ohio. Thursday they were on the road just in time to get stuck in the middle of an ice storm in KY.
They finally arrived at St. Jude at 23:30 Thursday evening. They would have been there a little bit sooner except they had a hard time finding it. From what I was told... They were able to see the building from the highway but unable to find the street - gotta love MapQuest... The directions had them looking for the wrong street...
Today Kevin had a MRI but not just any MRI... During this MRI, Kevin was shown pictures while the Doctors mapped to see what parts of his brain were activity. Sorry I forgot what the technical name of this MRI is but... that is why I'm not a doctor :-) Unfortunately they were not able to finish the MRI because as Kevin said the MRI 'blew up'... There was a mechanical failure with the MRI during the testing.... so they will have to repeat it...
In the meantime, Rach is trying to make sleeping arrangements for the family. St. Jude only allows for 4 family members but they have five. For whatever reasons, Jake is counted as if he was an adult... someone please explain that one to me??? Because I'm clueless as to how a 5 month old can be counted as if he was an adult... St. Jude is allowing them all to stay for the week but Rachel is trying to find something for the rest of their time there.
Rachel said that she would hopefully have Internet access soon. In the meantime, I'll be updating the blog as I receive information...
Please continue to keep Kevin in your prayers :-) and thank you for all the support and help. It means a lot to all of us.
Love,
Aunt Becca
